It is much better to keep and restore your teeth (if possible) even if it is time consuming by using several methods of treatments. This is much better than pulling teeth and inserting dental implants. If the tooth is damaged severely; sometimes it is needed to perform several treatments such as root canal, increasing crown length, using veneers or sometimes all of them.

Sometimes patients are faced with this question: “Isn’t it much better to pay a little higher cost for dental implant and ignore several time consuming methods?” The answer is: first, higher costs don’t always mean successful treatment. Second, when the risk factors are higher in some treatment procedures; your dentist will suggest you to have implant treatment instead of other treatment procedures.
